Riding Instead of Running

Well I felt pretty bummed about missing that 10k this morning. Funny how I don't like running much but when you start doing it a lot you start to miss it when you don't do it.

Anyways...I decided I needed some form of exercise today. After all, I was supposed to run 6 miles. By the time Jeremy got home from work I lost all motivation to do anything but forced myself to get dressed in my workout clothes. I then gave Ava the final say in what I did. I asked her if I should go for a run or a bike ride. She chose ride. So ride is what I did.

Ever since moving to West Point where this walking path is I have wanted to conquer the entire thing. So I set out with that in mind. I figured if I was supposed to do a 6-mile run today I should at least double the mileage in a bike ride.

I did it. It was a good ride but very lonely. :( It would have been nice to have someone to pass the time with. Even my music got old. It was nice to work different muscles though.

Here's my stats. Not sure if they are good or not because I have never timed my rides before. This is just what my watch said....
